Pegz - The Fight Lyrics
[Verse 1]They underestimated a brothers dedicationAnd dubbed this art form as another replicationThey said we'd never make it above the preperationWe proved them all wrong and touched a generationPeople loved it without a marketing budgetWithout, toning it down and dumbing the subjectAnd it took a lot of pain as a struggling artistSome passing their judgement like "we come from the gutters"I used to think it was the tone of our voiceBut it's the voice of our own that we've grown to avoidWhen the Hoods went platinum - nobody saw thatStreet press ignored rappers like a support actLabels knocked us all back like a door manWe did it alone and stuck to the formatWe did it alone (we did it alone)(To the format) to the format{2X}It's a fight for respect of the musicIt's a fight to defend who we areIt's a fight to the end from the startObese Creeew reppin' the artAnd the name's like a Fight Club membership card[Verse 2]This countries about more than sports celebritiesMore than politics form our legacyHow do we so easily talk sincerityWhen history haunts like born identitiesContemporary characters left out the narrativeIt's only natural we pin down the sparagesKilling them off like the City Of GodI don't care what the *****ing music industry wantsThis is hip hop without gimmicky propsAnd our sound won't fit into an idiot boxWe got belief in eachother, above the paymentsIf what I'm saying's un-Australian - ***** the nation.The streets outside are reflecting the timesAnd they're green with envy like emerald eyesSometimes I used to wonder if we ever will riseBuried alive amongst superficial stereotypes[Chorus][Verse 3]Only a few sold out, can't remember their namesIt's the one-dimensional fundementals of fameSome forget where they came from, pretend to relateBut I got no hard feelings whatever the caseNo matter what the future holds I want you to knoweverything we've done for the love of the music broAnd if we never made it at the bedroom studioI'd still be proud we were tryna do it soThat's for my man Jase, spoken with mad praiseNo regrets for the moments I can't changeWe didn't stagnate, we opened the fan baseWatched as this culture altered the landscapeDef Wish AKA brothers had faithBefore Obese Records was a brand nameBefore Triple J gave us mad playAussie Hip Hop blew up on the rampage{2X}
